June Christy, the greatest voice in Jazz ever!

A very underrated singer. She's never mentioned among the greats but she certainly deserves to be mentioned among them.

When you think about it? not too many singers out june christy out there. she had a fantastic voice always did stan kenton knew what a treasure he had in june. also don't forget Anita O day Julie London Chris Connor and Ella . so sorry to see a show like americas got talent. and you rarely rarely rarely hear a voice like June Christy. Also take not to the great big band backing June up. I know I am from the old school but this is what I call first class music. no loud amps or special lighting. pure talent no funny hats. keep this kind of music coming. thank you
